About Artisan Labs:

Artisan Labs is a specialty cosmetic formulator and manufacturer located in the heart of scenic Magic Valley (Twin Falls County), Idaho. We serve primarily skin care brands sold through specialty and direct to consumer channels. Our mission is “Prospering Brands of Distinction through Brandcrafted Service and our FACE Values.” Brandcrafted service is just a creative way of saying we have designed our services to our customer to ensure we treat them how they want to be treated. Artisan Labs service proposition has been designed from years of experience at top levels of leadership at other contract manufacturers and direct to consumer brands. We are intimately aware of the pain points that can exist when brands work with contract manufacturers. What does “FACE values” mean? Similar to “taking something at face value”, it means our employees and our customers can trust that the way we say we do things is the way they really are. Our FACE values resonate with us to our core; they are the unifying characteristics within our culture, namely amily, uthentic, gile, reative, raftsmanship, and mpowerment.

If aspects of our mission and values carry deep meaning for you as well, we invite you to apply!
